The story behind it

The maker

Kirk and Sweeney was created to honor the daring spirit of the Prohibition-era rum runners who transported high-quality Caribbean spirits to the United States. The brand is celebrated for its distinctive, onion-shaped glass bottles which mirror the historical design of 18th-century maritime decanters.

How it is made

Kirk and Sweeney is crafted in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, where local sugarcane is distilled and aged under the warm Caribbean sun. The rum is named after a legendary wooden schooner known for smuggling rum along the Atlantic coast during the early days of Prohibition.
